“I'm just human. Our task is to try. Being a Death Warrior is all in the trying,” said Francisco X. Stork. Stork proves that people do make mistakes and fail, but that’s okay. All we need to do as people is work our best, and keep trying as the beautiful humans we are. Stork is best known for the beauty and truth he puts in his stories. After taking a closer look at the life and work of Francisco Stork, he deserves recognition as an outstanding author. Francisco Stork is living a superb life. In 1953 Stork was born in Monterrey Mexico. His mother, Ruth Arguelles, was a single woman from a middle-class family in Tampico (Francisco X. Stork). The reason Francisco was born in Monterrey rather than in Tampico, where Ruth lived, is that her father did not want anyone to know that she was going to have a child out of wedlock. She was sent to Monterrey to live in a convent until the baby was born. The baby was supposed to be given up for adoption, but Ruth changed her mind.

Walter Ciszek was born in 1904 in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania as the son of an immigrant coal miner. When Walter was young, he was considered a bully and trouble maker, often starting fights just for the “devilment”. Once, his own father went to the police station and asked the police to take his son the reform school. In eighth grade Walter decided that he was going to become a priest, although much to his father’s disbelief, and entered the Polish minor seminary.

There are many ways authors write their books that can vary from style, experience, setting, and language. One author that I would like to talk about is Walter Dean Myers and the book that I would want to analyze would be Somewhere In the Darkness. This novel speaks about a poor little boy who was adopted at the age of two after his mother died and had to move to Harlem leaving his family behind . He also had a speech impediment and couldn’t speak or write as well as others but that didn't stop him. The book “Somewhere In The Darkness” is about a boy named Jimmy who was adopted by a very kind-hearted lady after his mother had passed away and his father went into prison. In the book his father is finally released and gave a surprise to Jimmy and takes him to Arkansas to settle down but Jimmy does not trust him. Walter Dean Myers usually writes his books from his own experiences which makes them inspirational, thought out, down to earth, and somewhere relatable to the reader!
He says, “Despite all the books I read, I’m still surprised I became a writer” (1998, p. 3). He transitioned his love for reading into a career of making works that others can enjoy. He uses his time devoted to teaching Indian children the art of creative writing. Harkening back to his childhood, he was never taught to write poetry, short stories, and novels (Alexie, 1998, p. 3). He wants them to experience the joy of putting pen to paper and creating something, anything that may be enjoyed. He goes on to say, “Books…Books…I am

Whenever someone reads one of John Steinbeck’s works they are in immersed in the scene he is describing, he makes you feel as if you are right there experiencing everything there first hand.
What helped him write his writing his books was that 1. He liked to write a lot and 2. He wrote letters to his mother and his mother kept all of his letters in a pile wrapped with string.

One of his big events for himself was that he wrote himself out of poverty in the Caribbean islands, when things were going bad for him.

This can be proven by Acts ( 8:6-7 ) “ And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were
Writing has always played a huge role in my life. I’ve been reading writing for as long as I can remember as I have an immense love of reading. This love would grow into a love for writing as well; I still stumble upon journals and writings from my five-year-old self about the happenings in my kindergarten class. As time would go on I would discover academic writing, and how to convey my thoughts on what was the topic of student that particular year or semester in my schooling. Later, writing would become a constant for me, and a comfort; I was known to my friends as always having a journal, and a pen on my person. I learned to write down my feelings and my thoughts, song lyrics that were in my head, reflections for the day. I learned how
